What's been great about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia lately is how absolutely ungrounded to reality the show has become. These days, the cast and writers (who are mostly one and the same) seem to have decided that pretty much anything is fair game for the gang to do each week, which is leading to some very inspired episodes.

Such is the case in "Frank Sets Sweet Dee on Fire", which involves Frank, Mac, and Charlie deciding that, of course, they'll become famous newscasters, while Dennis and Dee decide that they'll just become famous. Trying to accomplish their goal, Frank, Mac and Charlie begin running around town with a beat up video camera, hoping to find (or create) some huge breaking story. As for Dennis and Dee, they're inspired by the likes of Paris Hilton -- "a dirty, drunk whore" says Dee -- to simply begin clubbing and establishing themselves as someone important enough to get media attention for no good reason.

What follows is a terrific episode, that brings the gang into many different situations and makes several notable references, all to great comic purposes. One inspired scene involves a Chinatown excursion that leads Charlie to reference no less than a Fast and the Furious promoted driving skill, Mortal Kombat, and a certain classic Kurt Russell cult film within just a few moments. And that Mortal Kombat bit turns out to not be the last videogame joke the episode has in store.

Watch out Dee

Dennis and Dee's storyline is perhaps even better and funnier though, showing the very different directions the two go in as they attempt to enter the club scene. Let's just say that once more, the Reynolds siblings are involved in some drug use, and that Dee at one point has an epically insulting speech to a bouncer, that Kaitlin Olson just nails. Another interesting aspect to this episode is the title: It's as direct and funny as most are on this show, but unusually, the situation described in the title does not happen early on in the episode. In fact, half-way in and Sweet Dee still hadn't been set on fire by Frank. What this does of course is set up some nice comedic tension as we wait for the inevitable to occur.

And while some might quibble that the final joke of the episode is a bit predictable, it's still awesome (and is taken to a bit of an icky, and thus awesomely Sunny extreme). Thanks to many memorable moments, "Frank Sets Sweet Dee on Fire" quickly establishes itself as one of the best episodes yet of Season 3.
